While researching the Dorland book as many members of this and related families did go from Morris Co, Somerset County New Jersey etc.,Northampton Co PA, as well as areas of New York up to the fingerlakes and then west over to near Lake Erie, I discovered that they headed north on the trail up the NJ side of the Delaware River, then some crossed over around Easten PA and headed up the Pa side of the Delaware River on that side before recrossing back over into N.J. Most areas of the Delaware River are simply too shallow and rocky for boat travel which is why the canal system existed in later years. At the Delaware Valley Water Gap, travelers crossed back over to Port Jervis and the Old Mine Road, where Wayne and Pike Co's PA, Warren and Sussex NJ and Orange and Sullivan NY. The Old Mine Road was believed to have been the first 100 mile road built in American and begun by the Dutch as early as the 1600's. There is an excellent map in C.G. Hine, History and Legend Fact, Fancy and Romance of the Old Mine Road, Kingston, N.Y. to the Mine Holes of Pahaquarry, 19008, and the Minisink Valley Historical Society, P.O. Box 659, Port Jervis, NY 12772 has additional information.There was a lot of family traffic, both to the fingerlakes region and then returning back to New Jersey, so once they got there, they did not always remain, many returned back to N.J. or simply traveled back and forth between locations. The Old Mine Roads still exists and if you do a Google Search you will find that there are many good articles on this topic.
